Don't include ND 13 from I-29 to Wahpeton as a separate option: They close that stretch if they close that section of I-29.

Cold? Yes. Windy? Yes. Does UND have more enclosed walkways and connected building today than points in its history? Yes.

@MafiaMan you forgot the part about it being -110 in the arena when you got in. Thank goodness you have "antifreeze" with ya, eh?

It's a winter ground blizzard party out there! Wha ... what's that ScarJo?

Seems CollegeHockeyRanked projects: - only three teams can reach PWR1 - only 11 can reach top four in PWR, but of those about half would have to win out, so reality top four PWR is down to six teams - UND and MSU-Mankato are locked to be no worse than PWR7

Hang that next to your Wisconsin Golden Gophers pendant!

@MafiaMan Can you put your foot down on this and meter it out? Dated Feb 11, '20

Notice the common theme. I save time and just despise maroon and yellow.

Northeastern is having a second period in the Beanpot title game: down 2-0 after one they score the next 4.

I have to disagree. I'd call the new CC a hot mess, but it's half-baked.

Who has the better handlebar mustache?

Discuss.

Thanks. I didn't realize Wilkie grabbed a handful of mask. That must be how Wilkie damaged a finger. Who smeared Wilkie before the run-in with Frisch (or was it Ethan then also)? (I don't have NCHC.TV but I do have my TiVo set to record that game when it comes around again on Midco.) I'm trying to figure the sticks out. Frisch is a right shot.; so is Wilkie. Adams is a left-shot.

Supposedly Harry and Meghan contacted the Vancouver Canucks and Winnipeg Jets about how it is to live in Canada ... without a title.

We need more laughs in life.

Looks like NHL Network is covering Beanpot games today. Harvard/Northeastern at 4 pm Central BU/BU at 7 pm Central

Ya ever wonder how many figure out we scored by social media update?

Feb 3 update courtesy @jimdahl and CollegeHockeyRanked.com: https://collegehockeyranked.com/forecast/pwrbywins/ Looks like UND and MSU-Mankato are in a position where a win gets them no worse than a regional two-seed (top eight overall).

They were taken to school on the importance of it the prior week.

Q hung a 5-0 loss on Cornell Friday and won against Colgate Saturday.

I believe is is strategy and it came with KG and his time with the TBL organization. TBL focuses on going to the net and shots in close from the prime areas. Mismash's goal Saturday is a prime example of the difference from last year: Kawaguchi had the puck maybe 15 feet out, he could've taken a prime shot, yet he had TWO options on the back door (Adams, Mismash). Last year those back door options were taking fly-bys of the net and weren't there. And still they are getting back to support on defense. The go to the net and still get back mindset is fully engaged.

Why is shooting percentage up? Look at the shot charts from last year to this year. Last year the shots were coming from outside the prime real estate (which is dots in and down). This year shots are coming from that prime real estate and many from within ten feet of the blue paint. Goalies only save about 80% of shots from ten feet and in. (Hence the old coaching adage: Keep 'em to the outside!)

When it was 20-10 SF and they got the ball back, I said to the group I was with "SF better go up 27-10 and eat some clock or it could get ugly." Why is it that teams led by "Kyle S" can't do the long game-clinching drives late?
